The installation process for the ChorusOS operating system is divided into two parts:
Installing the Sun Embedded Workshop software on the host.
The Sun Embedded Workshop software provides the tools necessary to build a ChorusOS system image that can be booted on a target system. This part of the process is covered in Chapter 2, Installing the Sun Embedded Workshop software.
Building and Booting ChorusOS on a reference target board.
This includes configuring and building a ChorusOS system image using the Sun Embedded Workshop software, and booting the system image on a target system. This part of the process is covered in Part II, Building and Booting ChorusOS on Target Systems.
The following figure is a map providing an overview of the installation process and shows a few of the possible scenarios for building and booting a system image on the target. These are the different ways described in this guide.
For flowcharts of target-specific build and boot processes, see Part II, Building and Booting a ChorusOS System.
